James, maybe when we get a few more clients, we'll think about this. I am already stretched way too thin between this, Dollars And Sensei, and now updating this blog bi-daily so I can win a Chipotle from Gorman... so if we create one, you're managing it, JK. Thanks for the suggestion though Kar, we might fork the $6 or whatever it costs these days. --Pound foolish Paying for a domain would be fine for most people… but its preposterous blasphemy, for I am a cheap Desi, Kar :) No, but you’re probably right.

Most prospective MBAs are generally a little more serious and don't always get attracted to "viral marketing" such as this. You are probably better off going with the traditional approach. And why not register that domain? Just grab it, if nothing happens with the business in a year or two let it expire. At least then people have a central place to go for info on your site. With a personal service like tutoring, you will rely on word-of-mouth referrals. So make the information easy and accessible to everyone.

Your idea would probably work best in a place where somebody could take their laptop and look it up really fast. I know I can't remember a URL, even an easy one, for crap--I tried to remember popurls, but I just looked up popurl.com and gave up.
